A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a Reddit thread of men waxing poetic about mesh underwear for summer (don’t ask how I got there). Intrigued, I ordered my (very picky) boyfriend a pair.
When they arrived, I was surprised by how hot he looked in them; he was surprised by how soft they felt. I’ve now ordered a pair for myself, and I’d recommend you snag a pair before they sell out, too. Here’s why…
Mesh is perfectly engineered for insanely hot temps. It’s featherlight, moisture-wicking, and actually ventilated. Without getting too deep into it, the fabric lets air move through instead of trapping it. He’s noticed its breeziness at the gym already, so he’s sure it’s going to rescue him when the dog days of summer roll around.
We assumed that mesh might feel a little scratchy, but these underwear don't. At all. They're shockingly soft (if you’re familiar with MeUndies, you know the brand has butter-soft down to a science). You forget you're wearing them, which is maybe the highest compliment I can pay any piece of clothing.
I’ve written about matching underwear with your partner before, and I’m happy to let you in on this little secret again. There’s something surprisingly sexy about the experience: you both know what's going on underneath everything else, but nobody else does. It’s subtle, and hot, and a solid way to tee up some serious sparks.
